Having seen these guys a few times, I know they're good, fuck, one of them was in one of my all time fave bands! The Cave Singers bring this simple Country Blues sound to the table, and what a great sound it is. The new album "No Witch" is just stunning, much better than I expected. Here's a few tunes for you to "right click" on. Enjoy.

Always loved this kid, even though hes not a kid... Dan Sartain has been a big part of my life for over 10 years, and I'll hear nothing bad said about him! Click HERE to go check out "Fuck Friday, Fuck Saturday, Fuck Sunday" and below are 2 other tracks from the new album "FUCK".

It reminds me of last summer, when I was lucky enough to catch Local Natives do an acoustic gig in Hoxton Square. I cycled down after work, on the 1's and just sat there and waited. They set up infont of me (and about 100 other people) and just played. It was amazing, and seeing one of your favourite bands perform in that kind of environment is quite special.

I came across this live performance they did for LaBlogotheque. This youtube channel is simply amazing, worth bookmarking. It just reminded me how great Local Natives are, vocaly untouchable.

So, John is in a desert somewhere in America walking around watching bands no one has heard of, discussing beard growth and partying with cool people (not jealous at all). This means the blog has been let loose on an un-cool musical simpleton, without a beard... though I am ginger, so it's not that bad.

Peep this little rude boy track from Joy Orbison, or as he likes to now be called "Joy O". A ground breaking transformation I hear you say? Inspired, no doubt, by the era Prince turned himself into a symbol.

Anyway, this track is killer, and no doubt will make A list on radio one and have lads on tour requesting it in every Yates in the UK and shouting "UMM" and downing a pint of snakebite or whatever they do. Maybe a Jaeger bomb.

Great video for the latest Aloe Blacc tune. I quite like it when artists alter the album version for the single, this version is a bit more up beat with harder hitting horns. I may have to pull out some of those moves myself...

What a fantastic weekend. A visit to Panorama Bar and Horst, seeing Surfer Blood live again and basically partying at the German version of Dark Party, it was uncanny. If only John looked like Paul Weller and brought a tamborine with him when he played.

I forgot to post this a while ago. Sometimes I play music to the "masses", and now more than ever slip into conversations that I'm a "DJ". Below is my latest mix, it's my favourite to date and gives a feel of the stuff I'm really into at the moment.

Another thrilling story; I'm a Graphic Designer by trade and was assisting on a shoot in Northampton (glamour) the other day. I got a lift out of London from the photographer, and he was banging out some Bowie, what a dude.
